1 Development of a framework for integrated primary/secondary health care governance in Australia Caroline Nicholson 1 2, Claire L Jackson 1, John E Marley 1 1 University of Queensland, 2 Mater Health Services

2 Research questions Aim: To describe the elements of health care system capable of supporting integrated primary/secondary health care governance Questions: Are there additional functions to those previously described for a regional governance framework? What are the structures that contribute to sustainable clinical & organisational governance across the continuum of care? What is the role of a shared e-portal in this governance framework?

3 Literature review Electronic databases: PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Informit Health Collection, PHC RIS, Canadian Health Services Research Foundation, European Foundation for Primary Care, European Forum for Primary Care, Europa Sinapse Search strategy Duplicates removed. Results filtered and formatted Total citations identified by search (n=3105 citations) Passed full text screening and included in review (n=21 citations) By country: Australia (n=6) Canada (n=4) New Zealand (n=1) Sweden (n=1) UK (n=5) USA (n=4)

5 Elements Element Interventions shown to be effective n=* 1. Joint planning Joint strategic needs assessment agreed; formalising relationships between stakeholders; joint boards; promotion of a community focus and organisational autonomy; guide for collective decision making; multi-level partnerships; focus on continuum of care with input from providers and users Integrated information communication technology Systems designed to support shared clinical exchange i.e. Shared Electronic Health Record; a tool for systems integration linking clinical processes, outcomes and financial measures Change management Managed locally; committed resources; strategies to manage change and align organisational cultural values; executive and clinical leadership; vision; commitment at meso and micro levels. 4. Shared clinical priorities Agreed target areas for redesign; role of multi-disciplinary clinical networks/clinical panels; pathways across the continuum

6 Element Interventions shown to be effective n= 5. Incentives Incentives are provided to strengthen care co-ordination e.g. pooling 15 multiple funding streams and incentive structures, such as equitable funding distribution; incentives for innovative and development of alternative models. 6. Population focus Geographical population health focus Measurement using data as quality improvement tool Shared population clinical data to use for planning, measurement of utilisation focusing on quality improvement and redesign; collaborative approach to measuring performance provides transparency across organisational boundaries Continuing professional development supporting the value of joint working 9. Patient/community engagement Inter-professional and inter-organisational learning opportunities provide training to support new way and align cultures; clearly identifying roles and responsibilities and guidelines across the continuum. Involve patient and community participation by use of patient narratives of experience and wider community engagement. 10. Innovation Resources are available and innovative models of care are supported. 7 * Number of studies reporting the specified element 11 8

7 Key barriers/enablers Key enablers Leadership A vision that remains centre stage focusing on patient safety and quality care Commitment to partnership Significant barriers Existence of conflicting aspirations of different parts of the system and the need to balance the interests and values of all stakeholders involved in the continuum of care Macro-level reforms alone are insufficient to deliver integrated care, they need to be linked to meso-level and micro-level reforms A feature of much of this work has been the failure to document, evaluate and share lessons learnt in trying to effect change
